An Idea Borrowed

Years ago on a radio program someone shared that they read a chapter in Proverbs every day. Since there are 31 chapters and the longest month has 31 days it allows you to read through Proverbs on a regular basis. I use it as the launch pad for my personal worship time and branch out from there. On this blog I will try to share some of the insights I have in the Word. I will try to organize them in the archive by reference.

Another Opinion

Proverbs 1:1 (KJV) The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;

I allowed my curiosity to draw me past the Clickbait into the actual video on YouTube.  Some guy I’ve never heard of, and may never hear again, claimed to have chosen the three best translations of the Bible.  I’ve seen these titles before, but for some reason this time I actually clicked.  His first choice was the King James, his second was the Legacy Standard Bible, and his third, to my surprise, was something he called the NET.  I’ve seen the initials, I found that it was available on the Blue Letter Bible and so I download it.  I’m now going to read it this month as I work through Proverbs.

I don’t know that you need to read the NET.  I would, however, recommend that you read Proverbs in some translation.  This month I will be reading it in the NET and looking for any new insights that might come from this translation.

So?  If you haven’t read through Proverbs recently, this might be a good time to start.  Allow God to speak to you.  I’m sure He has something to say.
